IRB Crew

The aim of the course is to provide members with a foundation skill and knowledge to efectively crew the IRB (Inflatable Recue Boat) in Surf operations. This can provide you with the award of being a crew member or the foundation to become an IRB driver and obtain your Silver Medallion. The IRB Crew course can be run alongside the Bronze Medallion if members so desire.

The IRB Crew award is recommended for Club and SLS members who wish to progress from roles like SLS water safety personnel and basic lifesaving patrols to further training and responsibilities and possibly move on the additional award qualifications such as IRB Drivers, patrol captains or Silver and Gold Medallions.
